Everon x Arland

[dawn sphinx]

How is the fps? 😂

[uncut nimbus]

no decrease

[uneven oxide]

The madlad actually managed to do it

[uncut nimbus]

Most elaborate copy/paste

[uneven oxide]

Perhaps make it a little farther away? Arland is 39 KM southeast of Everon in the lore

[dawn sphinx]

Every building and such from Arland carried over?

[uncut nimbus]

it's where it is because everything stays in same coordinates; any other position 100x more difficult

[uncut nimbus]

yes

[agile grove]

Oooo

[dawn sphinx]

Lord have mercy

[agile grove]

@woeful wharf we should have this in the server at some point.

[dawn sphinx]

cant wait to island hop

[uneven oxide]

Is it on the workshop yet?

[uncut nimbus]

No; still some tweaking and testing to do first. When it goes up it might not stay up either; honestly I have no idea if it breaches EULA or not.

[lunar steeple]

I don’t see why it would be since there’s edits of both maps?

[dawn sphinx]

how would it breach EULA?

[uneven oxide]

Yeah, people have straight up ripped the maps and changed the features on them
Adding removing islands, etc

[coarse olive]

Very happy to see this, turn on bacon fog while taking off and turn it off once the boys land

[sick grotto]

This is super cool, 1:1 scale?

[uncut nimbus]

yes. It might look smaller in screenshots because draw distance is at 10km

I just have 10km in workbench; game runs at max 5km

[sick grotto]

Awesome, im definitely going to have to check this out when it releases

[uncut nimbus]

idk why BI didn't do it like this; more fun with islands together imo

[sick grotto]

Just imagine conflict on this, playing to 8 points with both islands in 64v64

[lunar steeple]

You could recreate the Golden Gate Bridge to connect them😂

This looks really cool though, I won’t lie. Image if the creator of Everon Xtra & someone who made an expanded Arland teamed up to where we’d have Everon X Arland Xtra

[strange bronze]

i would probably use this as my new conflcit map to replace my Everon ones if it all works well

very eager to see this

[left nest]

Not all hero’s wear capes

[gentle crescent]

Looking forward to it

[tired lintel]

Not realistic man, 32km away from everon it has to be argh

[cosmic sandal]

Realistic or not is something new the the community want play

[tired lintel]

I know just teasin stevie

[civic jungle]

dope

[civic jungle]

both sides can start with an airport technically

but one side will need amphibious and air vehicles to go to everon

[wicked lagoon]

[magic mason]

Always thought of doing this, always thought it would be a nightmare to do. Congrats!

[civic jungle]

he was smart about it tho

he put the island at 0 position, so all the entities and stuff could be imported with little changes

anyway, I hope this is allowed and it will release

[uncut nimbus]

This is how the closest point between the islands works out. About 38 meters rather than 38km and very shallow, at first glance it looks lie you could just drive across. But it's just deep enough to make it impossible. idk if I should tweak it to make it actually passable, or make it deeper so it's clear it's not passable, or just leave it as is.

[civic jungle]

I'd leave it like it is

[uncut nimbus]

it's quite funny like this; will kill many jeeps.

[civic jungle]

only thing that makes sense to me here is adding a road from beau over a bridge onto everon

but theres no road on the everon part

not a paved one anyway, guess could swap one of the dirt roads to a paved one

or something

[uncut nimbus]

How about nuking Widow's Hook

[civic jungle]

I think if they are to be connected then a bridge is appropriate because if it's the only connection between the islands then it should be proper infrastructure

if there's no connection then yea you could nuke widows hook

it would discourage wrecking your jeeps

[uncut nimbus]

I was thinking, bumfuck nowhere, a little ferry would go from the small peir on Everon's side to Beau rather than a bridge

[civic jungle]

I'm good with either

[uncut nimbus]

Do you know how to select a road entity that doesn't have a spline under it?

[civic jungle]

I do not I thought all roads are on splines

[strange bronze]

I could do that

[tawny rapids]

Can you make it a few km away so you can travel to the island of arland. Almost have scenarios where you take arland first then after foot hold you fight for everon ?

[uncut nimbus]

If you read the comments above; I didn't choose the position. Everything maintains the same coordinates. To move the island would be much more complicated and time consuming.

its pretty much luck the islands are not inside each other or something

[tawny rapids]

My bad

[strange bronze]

Yea you would have thought they would have been centered

[stiff flint]

Personally, I'd prefer it if arland was further away from everon to allow naval and air functionality. Give boats and aircraft more use

Something you see off in the distance. Not insanely far, but far enough where there is a little travel time

[fiery badger]

If you read the comments above; I didn't choose the position. Everything maintains the same coordinates. To move the island would be much more complicated and time consuming.```

[uncut nimbus]

It's up. I included a Conflict scenerio but I don't know if it actually works or not. I didn't check if the bases on Arland are in range of and can connect to Everon bases. I'm hosting a game on 148.251.192.168:2002.

[civic jungle]

ok so wheres malden and kolgujev

and desert island 😢

[uncut nimbus]

I'll try add them if BI adds them in Reforger 🙂 Another copy/paste job. Actually I never played kolgujev. Looks kind of shit in screenshots.

[civic jungle]

it was the russian base lmao

[uncut nimbus]

shit I missed one Terrain material on Arland. fixing.

[tired lintel]

whats the name?

[uncut nimbus]

Everon x Arland

[civic jungle]

I think workshop search is currently being a bit broken

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/60F4F2DD0E3F7772-EveronXArland

searching everonxarland in workshop returns nothing

even with test mods

[uncut nimbus]

the first version I uploaded was unlisted, so it might have cached that and be hitting that old cache

[civic jungle]

oh ok that is fair

[uncut nimbus]

uploading is so fucking slow on Starlink this sucks

1.2gb = 1 hour + upload

[civic jungle]

then it times out

[uncut nimbus]

yea it took me 3 tries until it finished yesterday

[analog storm]

I actually love this idea and wonder how it had not been done yet lol

[cosmic sandal]

@uncut nimbus hi, is it possible to have a version where you can create islands around it.?, for example like that of everon extended

[cosmic sandal]

Let me know what u think.

[sick grotto]

Never realized how small Arland is compared to Everon until i saw them side by side like this

[tawny rapids]

And Nagova

[uncut nimbus]

@strange bronze Think you could host a game on this today? I'm intiching to have a big fight Everon vs Arland

[strange bronze]

hey can i get the workshop link set to me! Ill have one up if not tonight, tomorrow!

[civic jungle]

scroll up

[uncut nimbus]

Awesome dude. There's a Conflict scenario included where each side starts on an airport.

https://reforger.armaplatform.com/workshop/60F4F2DD0E3F7772-EveronXArland

[strange bronze]

I’ll launch it today and let you know, is there ways to get off of Arland other then by heli?

[tired lintel]

swim

[uncut nimbus]

Swimming. Or BTR if you have one.

[strange bronze]

Ooooooooof

I will say we will need to figure out a way to add a couple land connections lol, that will be a negative thing for those teams that have to swim or something to start moving at objectives while the other team can just drive straight off rip but either way I’ll give it a go

[uncut nimbus]

Well, to start they can cap all the objectives on Arland. Then heli can take a crew over to mainland and they cap a base there people can spawn from it. If people do have to swim the gap is only 30 meters then a short run up to first base

there is also the broken starting heli on each airport

[strange bronze]

Okay copy, just preparing the disclaimer thing for the announcement! I should have an announcement on my server in the next hour or so bringing it up on my new server

[uncut nimbus]

@strange bronze Please take off the vPad mod it's completely unusable

it just breaks the map and removes all its features. No way to even see that Arland is on the map

oh you can disable it menu nvm

[strange bronze]

It won’t be on there

It’s not technically set for release yet we’re still gonna reset it and sort the mods

[uncut nimbus]

the sky looked broken wierd idk if sth was intefering with it

[strange bronze]

I’ll let you know when it’s at its first release here soon! We have to change the mod list out and such still and remove 1pp

[strange bronze]

Happen to have the image of the map handy? Showing arland on there?

[strange bronze]

Thank you throwing this in the announcement

[lunar steeple]

Really? I’ve always been able to use the Vpad as the tablet, and as the normal full screen map

[uncut nimbus]

Guys let me know if you find any bugs. Happy to see several servers running it already.

[strange bronze]

hey so basically the feedback is the land connects are gonna be needed. it detered alot of players today. Likely could add a legit bridge then just make land mass natural crossings probably 2-3

[uncut nimbus]

I think what's really needed is boats/landing craft. I don't see any way to add a bridge that doesn't look out of place like sth plopped down in GM. Changes to land would also need a new Navmesh; I don't want to bake it or bother maintaining it. With the current setup it patches Everon's navmesh with Arland's navmesh in-place.

[tired lintel]

Just have like 2 helis as starter to help doing logi

And make a main fob

On the everon island

[uncut nimbus]

didn't work on darkgru because the starting transport helis were replaced with attack helis.

[tired lintel]

bruh

thats dumbn

[lime vapor]

Hey @uncut nimbus I noticed that the maps lighting is a bit weird, almost looks over saturated. Doesn’t look the the default lighting on everon or Arland.

[barren moon]

Was about to say the same thing, any ideas @uncut nimbus ? Also the map itself seems a bit pale looking and lacks all the colors.

[craggy granite]

Is there any other config in your mod that dictates the 10km draw distance? I'm running this map as a base for a mission and the draw distance seems to be hardcapped at 10km on the server (despite having it on 2500m on the server config)

[uncut nimbus]

The view distance way accidental; I had just set it to 10KM so I could actually see one island from another while developing it. But now I left it at 10Km because I like it lol. RE Lighting; I didn't notice differences myself, could you make a screenshot to demonstrate it?

[barren moon]

https://imgsli.com/MjY2Mjg2

[barren moon]

I managed to find the issue, the "environment probe entity" has wrong settings and is set to local, if u check Ur private message from me I can provide settings that I used and managed to get it working fine.

Another example of the lighting: https://imgsli.com/MjY2Mjg1

[dusk cedar]

Is this the fix for lighting issues? @barren moon

[barren moon]

Yes it is

[dusk cedar]

Could you perhaps DM me with what these settings should be set to, so that colour and saturation is how we see it on standard Everon for example?

Or post here?

[barren moon]

Check dms

[uncut nimbus]

@barren moon I just pushed an update should fix the lighting issue. Please download it and check.

@dusk cedar

[barren moon]

Tested, working but it's still not as good as vanilla, check ur pm again.
